No these aren't Wild Carrots (Queen Anne's Lace) just some carrots growing in the polytunnel sent up flowers & I left them because the insects love them. Topaz Glow filter "Whisker wires Cherry blossom" lifted the original dull image slightly. Best viewed Large.
Flickr photo editor has changed since the last time I uploaded a photo & I can't seem to find a way to add a thin white border to this. Anyone got any suggestions? The old system was great I don't know why they had to change it.

Dahlias are worldwide considered of the most popular and spectacular garden flowers.
They are natives of the sandy hillsides of Mexico, Central America, and northwestern South America.
Dahlias were cultivated by the Aztecs, taken to Europe by the Spaniards in the 18th century, and soon spread throughout the world in widely different climates.
There are at least 42 species of dahlia and over 20,000 cultivars.
There is a great variety of form in dahlias.
Dahlia's worden wereldwijd beschouwd als een van de meest populaire tuinbloemen.
Oorspronkelijk zijn ze afkomstig van de zandige heuvels in Mexico, Midden-Amerika en noordwestelijk Zuid-Amerika.
Dahlia's werden in de 16e eeuw al gekweekt door de Azteken, in de 18e eeuw zijn ze naar Europa gehaald door de Spanjaarden, en al snel over de hele wereld verspreid.
In 1872 werden dahlia's in Nederland geïntroduceerd.
De oorspronkelijke dahlia's - er zijn circa 42 soorten in het wild - zijn kale opgaande overblijvende planten met langwerpige, knolachtige wortels. Het aantal hybriden is al meer dan 20.000 in een grote verscheidenheid aan vormen en kleuren.

Die Strauch-Pfingstrose (Paeonia suffruticosa), auch Baum-Pfingstrose genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart in der Gattung der Pfingstrosen (Paeonia) innerhalb der Familie der Pfingstrosengewächse (Paeoniaceae). Sie ist in China beheimatet. Viele Sorten werden als Zierpflanzen verwendet. Die Strauch-Pfingstrose wächst als Strauch, der in der Regel Wuchshöhen von etwa 1,5 Metern, gelegentlich auch von 3,0 Metern und in Extremfällen 5,0 Meter erreicht
Paeonia × suffruticosa is a name used for a group of culture varieties of tree peonies that are the result of hybridisation with species exclusively belonging to the subsection Vaginatae. The common name used in China is mǔdān (Chinese: 牡丹). Plants belonging to this group have been cultivated for millennia in China, initially only as a source of traditional Chinese medicine particularly the skin of its roots (牡丹皮; mǔdān pí). Already early on the plant was also cultivated for its ornamental value, and it is highly revered in Chinese culture. The most distinctive feature is that Paeonia suffruticosa is a bush or a tree, whereas most peonies are herbaceous. Despite their classification as trees, it is the flowers that attract people's attention. Peonies are generally slow to grow and have flowers that only last briefly and are fragile under weather conditions such as wind, rain or hot temperatures.
